Brazilian skateboarder Rayssa Leal embraced her role as an evangelist after securing a bronze medal at the ongoing Summer Olympic Games in Paris.
The 16-year-old, who became Brazil’s youngest-ever Olympic medallist at age 13 during the Tokyo 2020 Games, continued her impressive performance in the French capital.
Although she didn’t surpass her previous achievements, Leal’s actions following her bronze medal win in Paris drew significant attention.
In a widely shared video on social media and seen by kevinblaq.com, the athlete from Maranhao used her platform to express her faith in Jesus Christ.
At the Paris Olympics, Leal delivered her message using sign language, quoting John 14:6: “Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life.”
Despite the Olympics’ prohibition on religious symbols, Leal was unwavering in sharing her message about Christ through sign language.
Digital Consultant Sachin Jose, a committed Catholic, praised this bold act.
